Hey guys! Hope everyone has enjoyed their Saturday! I have been following a couple of things on here. First ribbons to wear at PIR. I think each div is going to have a different color so we can tell who we all are (N4M and div). We can order them from a lady on here. There is a discussion about it on our PIR 10-1 group. Second, they say that we do not want to have our meet and greet at the Ramada Inn. They say it is bad. You can go to PIR 8-13 group to read up on it. So do we want to have our meet and greet somewhere else. Is the meet and greet for each Div or the PIR as a whole? Hmmmmm...... I guess we will figure that out together! lol Hope everyone has a great weekend! Oh and no letters here except the form letter!

Hey everyone! Hope this Monday finds all of you in good spirits. Anyone gotten a letter or a phone call yet? I am chompin' at the bit to hear some news. I saw one of the other ships got phone calls today...that gave me hope!!! I have heard good and bad about the Ramada Inn...took my chances and made my reservations there. I figure we probably won't be in the room that much anyway. Too chicken to reserve my airfare yet. Airlines have some great deals right now, but I think it's too early. I need a letter first! :) Gotta know that things are going ok.

I can't wait for this weekend either, he said that they might get to call next week (this week) since he wrote it on Sunday! I have a friend ( her son and my son are best friends) that left Monday for Marine bc. I went by and talked to her yesterday, she is having a really hard time. I hope you have a great day! Let me know if you get that letter! Praying that you do!

Good morning Sondra. I too read that you got your letter. CONGRATULATIONS! I am very excited for you and now I know mine should be here soon. I joke that mail is delivered to Idaho by horse and buggy because it is soooooo slow. I know the warm feeling you have in your heart and I am sure each of us will be receiving that over the next couple of days. Thanks for sharing so we all know to watch that big box out front. Have an awesome day! Rose Ann

Hi All, I just received the form letter today and a first letter from my recruit. Can't believe it. He is also SHIP 13 DIVISION 330 PIR 10/1. He is doing okay but really misses being able to talk to us. He said his division is great and he likes it considering what it is.

Hi all. I got a letter today too! Twin Falls don't worry!! I think the Pony Express left Colorado and is on the way to Idaho!! It takes forever for us to get our mail too. I was amazed at how neat this letter was! His handwriting is usually barely legible. Every word neat and spelled correctly. He says he is doing OK and things aren't as horrible as he imagined they would be. He passed his swim test, but didn't know yet how he did on his PT. Says to food is good and all they do is march, study, PT, eat, sleep get yelled at and stencil things! He's SICK of stenciling things! LOL. He is a diet coke freak and was quite happy to report that they have it in the chow hall. He is very homesick... towards the end of the letter he was feeling a little blue, but I am hearing that is normal. Hope everyone gets letters very soon. Really looking forward to that first phone call too!!

Hope you all have a great night!

We received the first letter from Sarah today and she is doing well. She is so motivate to be the toughest and she is so stubborn that the yelling and screaming pushes her. She passed the swim and tried to qual for 2nd class swimmer but failed due to her kick style in the side stroke. It was strong that in her letter she was telling her family to stay strong because she was "all good".
Are there any recruits going to MA school in San Antonio. Sarah was asking so I might give her their names. -
